Minister for Communications Samuel Nartey George has explained why Ghana is moving forward with SIM re-registration. He warned that using old data might cause problems.
Speaking on March 17, the Minister stated that some information in the current SIM card database might have been unlawfully obtained. This means the data may not be correct.
He explained that carrying this potentially flawed data into a new system would be a risk. This digital information needs to be clean and accurate for security reasons.
The Minister emphasized that a new system should not be built on bad information. It is important for the data to be trustworthy.
